Free Download The Net Effect: Romanticism, Capitalism, and the Internet (Critical Cultural Communication) by Thomas Streeter
English | December 8, 2010 | ISBN: 0814741150, 0814741169 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 2.3 MB
This book about America’s romance with computer communication looks at the internet, not as harbinger of the future or the next big thing, but as an expression of the times. Streeter demonstrates that our ideas about what connected computers are for have been in constant flux since their invention. In the 1950s they were imagined as the means for fighting nuclear wars, in the 1960s as systems for bringing mathematical certainty to the messy complexity of social life, in the 1970s as countercultural playgrounds, in the 1980s as an icon for what’s good about free markets, in the 1990s as a new frontier to be conquered and, by the late 1990s, as the transcendence of markets in an anarchist open source utopia.

Free Download Esther Majerowicz, "China in Contemporary Capitalism "
English | ISBN: 9004708510 | 2024 | 220 pages | PDF | 17 MB
From a unique Global South Political Economy perspective, this volume showcases outstanding works on the economic, social, and political development of China. It covers topics such as the Chinese development model, the evolution of social classes, the country’s projection on the global stage, and the recent technological dispute with the United States. It does so by avoiding the trap (particularly perilous in the case of China) of isolating the economy from politics. The authors demonstrate that without understanding the contradictory movements of these two dimensions in their historical evolution, it is impossible to grasp contemporary China.

English | ASIN: B0CQ9J98B2 | 2024 | 9 hours and 19 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 272 MB
Author: Ruchir Sharma
Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi
A century of expanding government has distorted financial markets, stoked massive inequality, and soaked America in debt. Capitalism didn’t fail, it was ruined. What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma’s account is not like any you will have heard before. He says progressives are right, in part, when they mock modern capitalism as "socialism for the rich." For a century, governments have expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending to regulation and the scale of financial rescues when the economy wobbles. The result is expensive state guarantees for everyone-bailouts for the rich, entitlements for the middle class, welfare for the poor.
